From one piece My agent.md to improve LLM-assisted code quality 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there

  As an LLM's context grows, it pays less attention to instructions placed in the middle than to those at the start or end.

  LLMs

  Their words

  As the context grows, a model starts paying less attention to instructions in the middle of the context in favor of what is at the beginning and the end.

  LLMs hallucinate constantly and cannot be trusted to produce code without human verification.

  LLMsdesign

  Their words

  LLMs constantly hallucinate and cannot be trusted. I still have to verify and iterate a lot but now I usually focus on architecture and design instead of code style.

  Failures are more often explained by time pressure than by stupidity or malice.

  Their words

  Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity. And never attribute to stupidity what you can attribute to time pressure.

  Thunderbolt's official wake-from-sleep certification does not guarantee the feature works reliably in practice.

  Their words

  At this point, I had pretty much given up and filed Thunderbolt's "wake from sleep" promise in the "unreliable" folder, right next to Bluetooth Pairing.

  ASUS ROG Swift PG27UCDM

  Their words

  Since I switched the monitor, I have never experienced a failure. The system works perfectly, flawlessly waking the laptop and bringing the desktop online in under a second.

  Caldigit TS4

  Their words

  I got the CalDigit TS4 as soon as it was released, in 2022. It was perhaps a little bit better but overall I was disappointed to still sometimes encounter a machine that would not wake up.

  CalDigit TS3

  Their words

  Even the best Thunderbolt dock at the time, the CalDigit TS3, would occasionally fail to wake up the system. It was super annoying.

  Code quality still matters even as LLMs make writing code much faster.

  Their words

  But for everything else, code quality still matters tremendously.

  Programmers who refuse to use LLMs to code will fall behind those who do.

  LLMs

  Their words

  Writing every line by hand is no longer the norm. Those who refuse to use an LLM will fall behind because they won't be able to produce as much

  Smaller teams are better

  Their words

  We can accomplish more with smaller teams. We may not be far from the '90s model, when a team of four could produce professional software.

  IBM Model M

  Their words

  I discovered the IBM Model M in 1993 when I went over to the neighbor who owned an IBM PS/1 2168. I was immediately hooked to the feel of the keys and their clicky sound. It felt like using a typewriter and I loved it.

  IBM Model M SSK

  Their words

  Not having that cumbersome keypad eat up the space and pushing the mouse location further right is so convenient, it surpasses the 101/102-key version.

  ErgodoxEZ

  Their words

  With its detached parts, the Ergodox EZ is able to adjust to any typist. I used that keyboard for 10 years. I liked it so much that I bought one for home and one for work.

  The Moonlander is my dream keyboard. It has everything the Ergodox EZ offers, and it remains ultra-stable while tilted on the Platform. I really hope this will be my last keyboard.

  Multimedia design succeeds by building up from a platform's real hardware constraints rather than compressing full video down to fit them

  Their words

  Most FMV games looked bad because developers followed a top-down approach trying to cram a real movie into a tiny CD-ROM using a weak CPU.
